    Dropped in for a quick cut, and got the most amazing haircut of my life. If you want a serious barber to perform a serious cut come to this shop. The owner has been cutting hair for 60 years and has been in that location for over 40 years. $30 for a men's haircut is a steal! Highly recommend!

    I had a wonderful experience at this barber. He is a character, but knows what he is doing. I live in New York, but sometimes wait to get my haircut until I travel to Palo Alto for business so I can come to this place.

    I had a great experience at Cardinal Barber Shop today. The shop has a a true grassroots, classic barbershop atmosphere. Gerardo, the barber, was incredibly welcoming and chatty throughout the haircut, making the entire visit enjoyable. He really takes his time to ensure everything is fine and understood the style I wanted. He absolutely nails classic male haircuts! You can tell he’s passionate and well-experienced about what he does. Just a heads-up, it’s cash-only, so be prepared. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the cut I got from Gerardo and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch, traditional barber experience near Stanford!
